For countries where English is state language it maybe is corner case, but for everybody with non-Latin alphabets (Eastern Europe and Asia, where OO is even more popular then in more wealthy countries) it is huge issue. Even if you write document in non-default language you have to tell this to OO or forget about spellcheck. > > > or copy non-adjacent cells in Calc. > > > > This is slightly more useful.

I would start on this one, and then do > the above. It turns out that you need file-format change for that. See discussion in issue 35579. OO have missed the boat when going to ODF, when it could be done with a lot less pain. Anyway, my point is that while OO is nice product with great prospects, we need to realize that it needs improvements. Simply stating that "after moving to OO users will never look at MS again" sets wrong expectations and paves the road to disapointment. Regards, K.
